Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of composite material, especially a kind of nitrogen, phosphide for decomposing water performance improvement
Preparation method.
Background technique
Hydrogen Energy is a kind of extremely superior secondary energy sources, has many advantages, such as high energy, green, environmental protection.Currently, electrochemical catalysis
Decompose water be it is a kind of cleaning, efficient hydrogen production process.Water electrolysis includes in the evolving hydrogen reaction (HER) of cathode and in the analysis oxygen of anode
It reacts (OER), theoretically thermodynamics decomposes the starting voltage that water at least needs 1.23V.However, it is contemplated that kinetics because
Element generates overvoltage effect, actually needs bigger starting voltage, the voltage that business electrolyzer generally uses for 1.8~
2.4V.In order to overcome this big overvoltage, it is urgent for finding the catalyst that a kind of couple of HER and OER all has preferable catalytic effect
In the eyebrows and eyelashes.However, that is reported so far reacts the bifunctional material with catalytic activity and few, table to HER and OER
The design synthesis of bright this kind of material is still a challenging job.
In the recent period, transition metal nitrogen, phosphide (MNC and MPC) are since the catalytic activity of its " eka-platinium " is in electrochemical decomposition water
Field causes extensive research boom.But the usual process of electrode production process of traditional MNC and MPC material is relatively multiple
It is miscellaneous and time-consuming, include mainly synthetic powder presoma and subsequent nitridation or phosphorating treatment, is collecting finally by adhesive load
On fluid.Whole process is not only laborious but also is difficult to make catalyst that uniform close is fixed and formed tightly with collector on the electrode
Contiguity touching.This result will lead to MNC the and MPC catalyst in water splitting processes and be detached from from collector, so as to cause catalysis
Activity is low with stability.In order to solve this problem, a large amount of research work concentrates on directly growing electro-catalysis on a current collector
Agent.However, the electrode stability due to caused by the bad contact between complicated manufacturing process and catalyst and collector
Decline seriously limits further applying for such electrode.Therefore, simple, expansible, efficient nitrogen, phosphide electro-catalysis are explored
The synthetic method of agent is commercially used for having important theoretical and practical significance realize electrochemical decomposition water.
